A truly green home surrounded by nature for sale in mid-Michigan

VASSAR, MI — There’s a “captivating” newly-built home near Frankenmuth that has a contemporary design, green features, and is surrounded by nature.

This 3,000-square-foot home, located at 7394 Evergreen Trail in Vassar, about 5 miles East of downtown Frankenmuth, is MLive’s House of the Week. Homes across the state are showcased every Wednesday.

“It’s beautiful, very sleek,” Realtor Coleen Hetzner of Century 21 Signature Realty said of the contemporary design. “I just think it’s a beautifully designed home.”

This unique home, built in 2019, is listed for $499,900.

The kitchen, which features a six-burner gas range, double ovens, two farmhouse-style sinks, granite countertops, and a “huge” walk-in pantry, is “perfect for somebody that likes to cook,” Hetzner said.

Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the listing touts insulated concrete form block construction, in-floor heat, high-efficiency heating, lighting and windows, a generator and a steel panel roof.

The home is located in the Timber Point Estates subdivision and has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, expansive walk-in closets, a sunroom with pond and golf course views, and a large deck.

“It’s in the country and there’s a lot of wildlife around,” Hetzner said, noting that she saw a pheasant the last time she visited the property.

“It’s just a great little community,” she added. “It’s small, but very neighborly.”
